Sony Ericsson has delivered on a promise from August and have pushed out another Android OS upgrade. Rogers arc customers have been reporting for the past couple days that OS version 2.3.4 is now available to download, bringing a few changes to their beloved Android. If you have the arc, you can go forth and upgrade OTA (over the air).
(Thanks Jayme!)

uhh.. why..? 4.0? Hell, at least 2.3.7..?

2.3.7 = NFC = unavailable on the arc.

The generic updates have been out for weeks. Upgraded using Wotan a few weeks ago. Root is also available for all Xperia firmwares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mfRA2j1vXg&hd=1
I’m glad Sony Ericsson has also committed to upgrading their entire 2011 Xperia lineup to Ice Cream Sandwich too.

Got a friend with that one..
Guess he chose it to be sure no one else had the same phone in a 100km radius. (He’s the one who bought it in Quebec City)

Does this update give the phone that snappy little CRT-off animation when you lock the screen?

I’m in Toronto and I still don’t have it – I’ve been checking OTA periodically this morning but no luck.
Anyone else attempted the manual approach?

I did the manual approach through their “PC Companion” software. 1 AM on Tuesday.

Does the manual approach delete your apps or remove the root?

Over-the-air updates keep all data, apps and root.
PC Companion tells you if it’s a full wipe or an incremental upgrade.
Google zergRush. It roots ALL Xperia firmwares.

Over-the-air upgrades (not complete wipes) maintain root.
Not that it MATTERS! zergRush will root ANY Xperia 2011 firmware.
In PC Companion, it gives you two options: full wipe or incremental upgrade.
